Forces on Small Particles in Nonhomogeneous Polyatomic Gases
Waldmann's work on forces on small particles suspended in a nonhomogeneous monatomic gas is extended to a polyatomic gas of rotating molecules. Under the assumption that the coefficient of diffuse reflection is equal to 1, the force the gas exerts on a particle is calculated from an expansion of the distribution function. In general, this force consists of three contributions which are determin...
متن کاملOn the Motion of Small Spheres in Gases
We have developed a global scattering kernel which describes the scattering of gas atoms by spherical particles which are small compared with a mean free path in the gas. The global kernel, which is analogous in many ways to the thermal neutron scattering kernel employed in neutron thermalization studies, is given in terms of the gas-surface scattering law for the particle. Thus the global kern...

Using the general theory developed by the author in the previous paper, the problems of thermophoresis and diffusio-phoresis have been examined with a view to elucidating the effect of a general gas-surface scattering law on the associated forces. It is found that, in thermo-phoresis, there exists a close coupling between the first anisotropic moment of the gas-surface scattering law and the so...
متن کاملOn the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in Liquids at Rest Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat∗
IN THIS PAPER it will be shown that, according to the molecular-kinetic theory of heat, bodies of a microscopically visible size suspended in liquids must, as a result of thermal molecular motions, perform motions of such magnitude that they can be easily observed with a microscope. It is possible that the motions to be discussed here are identical with so-called Brownian molecular motion; howe...
